Tube lifts are how aliens move between decks. Building a lift on one deck also builds it on all decks, provided their is space for it to appear. It is advisable to build several lifts on each deck segment to assure aliens can move quickly between decks. Security bots also use tube lifts, as do Fuzzies and garbage bots. Mech's require their own special lift. This lift does not require energy to remain powered up.
Tube lifts on different deck track damage differently, so a Tube lift on the bio deck may require repair, while its counterpart of the sub deck may not, despite being part of the same Tube lift.
Upgrades decrease how quick an aliens needs fulfilment decreases while waiting and give them a speed boost after using it.
Tube lifts are part of the space trucker category.
Notes[ | ]
- Removing lifts that aliens are using can cause that alien to become stuck in the environment.
